tell me
what was the color of your pain
how softly did it tear your skin
what is the shape of betrayal
what is the name of abandoned
does the sun bleed red
like me
and was death any less surprising
than you imagined
tell me
did the day split cleanly
was it sharp enough to cut even
did it rip the edges raw
and when the broken song first began to fade
was it the gray that caught a glimpse of rose
or was it blue that took a breath of gold
what was the smell of hope found hiding
when the ashes cooled to dust
away
what morning is the color of this
...
tell me
what was the color of your joy
what was the shape of its song
the sound of its brilliance
the words of the way it lifted life past life
when the stories all came true
that day
the moment
the smile, the hands
the spring, the summer forever
would have carried you
was everything
tell me
what is the color of nothing
how heavy is empty
why is there a word for forever
and how brown is the curve of your road
what flowers bloom at the edges
after all the flowers have died
where does the horizon burn
now that the sky is gone
what winter is the color of this
